Lenin on Sport (well Not Really)

Category

I know it has been a great challenge for the good folks at Philosophy Football to find a quote by Lenin about sport, as it is hard to imagine the Bolshevik leader relaxing with the Russian Equivalent of When Saturday Comes, or Racing Post.

But close enough:

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin: “For those who desire not simply an aimless skipping from instance to instance, an integral central movement will take us forward towards a great goal.”

The weight training was a workerist mistake.
He should have stuck to aerobic exercise.
The bullet fragments lodged in his body after the assasination attempt, plus a poor diet probably contributed to his stroke and early death.
